* Under what circumstances, if any, can a state reject a federal law? Why do you say this?
When it is undemocratic. For example, if the people feel for some reason they had no say on
whether this "law" was what they wanted or not, the states would gain power to speak up for
them and defend their rights & interest.

The Hayne-Webster Debate
WHO? Senates WHAT? It was one of the most famous debates on history WHEN? 1830 WHERE? The senate/ congress WHY? There had been conflicts with defying the state's power against any federal law. It was needed to decide whether states had the power to deny any law created by the Federal gorvernment if the States found it to go against the needs of the people.
Summary:
Along the controversy of creating the Second Bank of America, and the tariff passed on British goods, long debates on state's rights and Federal power took place. And with the tariff, southerners were now forced to buy northern products that were much more expensive than those of the British were. Vice president John C. Calhoun carried out the idea that states had the right to deny or reject any law passed by the Congress as long as it contradicted the state's interest in any form or way. This idea was later enforced when Senator Daniel Webster and Senator Robert Hayne debated. Webster explained that the nation is made up of united states living as one; therefore, states should be able to carry out their protest against any law that may be to no interest to the nation. One's state disagreement is the same to all. _ DOCUMENT 1 TASKS:
